Our Study Area

The OBC field programs area focused on the urbanized parts of the city. Since the long term mission of the OBC is to create cities that can be habitat for people and for birds, we’ve focused our efforts on areas where most people live and work. Specifically the study area encompasses:

Urban Areas

All areas of the city that are designated “Urban” in Ottawa’s Official Plan (Schedule B in the language of the plan)

The Greenbelt

A crescent of land within Ottawa in which real estate development is strictly controlled.

Villages

The villages within the city that are adjacent to the greenbelt or the urban designated land, which are likely to see the most development in the near future. This includes: Fallowfield, Manotick, Greely, Notre Dame des Champs, Navan, and Cumberland.

1 km Buffer

A 1 km buffer of all of these areas to capture any unexpected changes in development.
